safety house
Our Fire Safety House was completed in 1990. The Fire Safety House is a simulator designed to provide the children an opportunity to use what they have been taught about getting out of their homes alive. It has non-toxic smoke that is pumped into the hallways and the two bedrooms which provides a more realistic environment for the children to practice getting out under those conditions.
The Fire Safety House has been continuously utilized since it was built. It is not only used for our programs, but has been used by several departments such as the Waverly Fire Department, Girard Fire Department, Pawnee Fire Department, Loami Fire Department, Auburn Fire Department, the 183FW Fire Department and by the Children's Miracle Network.
SCHOOL FIRE PREVENTION PROGRAM
The third graders from Chatham Elementary and Ball Elementary schools come to the Fire Station each year during Fire Prevention Week for our Fire Safety Program that provides them with the tools necessary to "Get Out Alive".
The students view a Fire Safety Video; they are given a demonstration of the firefighters gear; then provided a tour of the station and equipment; and lastly taken through the Fire Safety House.
The students are also provided with a bag information that includes fire safety pamphlets, burn information brochures, fire education oriented coloring books, stickers that address fire safety and much more.
